The Denver Nuggets defeated the Dallas Mavericks 142–135 on March 25 at Ball Arena, with Jamal Murray's explosive 53-point performance anchoring a balanced offensive attack. Murray's scoring barrage, complemented by Nikola Jokić's 23 points, propelled Denver to a 56.2% field-goal rate and 19 three-pointers made, significantly outpacing Dallas's 49.5% shooting and 12 threes. The Nuggets' third quarter proved decisive, outscoring the Mavericks 43–41 in that frame to seize control. Denver finished with 36 assists and a 134.3 offensive rating while holding Dallas to a 127.4 offensive rating, though the visitors limited turnovers to just four. The game fell short of the 246.5 Vegas total, with the teams combining for 277 points. Cole Flagg (26 points) and Nate Marshall (22 points) led Dallas's comeback bid in the fourth quarter, but Murray's midrange and three-point shooting proved too much to overcome. The victory strengthens Denver's playoff positioning as the Nuggets continue their push through the season's final stretch.
